Jordin on Bon Jovi night: a little pitchy
“It was just so bizarrely dreadful.”
Of the top six, there was only one performance that was actually bad. Unfortunately, that performance was from my girl Jordin. Her rendition of “Livin on a Prayer” was like karaoke amongst a group of secretaries on ladies/taco night at a Dayton watering hole. This is not good as Jordin has about 40% more talent in most cases than everyone who is not Melinda and 87% more personality than everyone including Melinda (and Seacrest).
I’m hoping that last week’s voting helps carry her through to next week. I would make the argument that she’s not a rock girl and that we should just give her a break, but Melinda was able to knock her song out of the park and until this week had yet to sing anything recorded after 1910 over the course of this whole damn competition.
Based on this week only, Jordin should be in trouble, though I suspect the massive number of votes from “Idol Gives Back” will mostly harm Chris and LaKisha (though the creepy looking Phil should really be the one to go).
If Jordin goes, I’m done with the show. I mean, what’s the point in watching if you have actual hatred for everyone else participating?
